How to Calculate Kilometers Per Liter

Understanding your fuel economy is key to knowing how much it costs to drive your vehicle. Fuel economy can be measured in kilometers per liter (km/L) or in miles per gallon (MPG)

While the MPG terminology is common in the US, most of the rest of the world uses km/L (which can also be stated as KPL or KMPL). The correct spelling of this metric unit of volume also varies between the US (liter) and most other countries (litre).

To calculate your fuel economy in kilometers per liter, use the following formula:

km/L = km ÷ L

Your fuel economy in kilometers per liter can be found by dividing the distance driven (in kilometers) by the amount of fuel used (in liters). You can use this fuel economy number to calculate the cost of driving your vehicle using our fuel cost calculator.
